Chapter 70: Clues Emerge
Yu Zimo received Jiang Jiu's inquiring gaze and looked at the emperor with a smile. The cold aura from his body instantly spread throughout the hall.
Jiang Jiu knew that he was angry.
Yu Zimo was upset because the emperor asked her for help.
Anyone could see that Yu Zimo was extremely unhappy, so much so that the emperor, who had originally asked for help, shut his mouth tightly and looked at Yu Zimo in horror, fearing that he would kill him to silence him in the next second.
Jiang Jiu cast a sympathetic look at the emperor. Why did he have to ask her for help when there were so many people to ask for it? This only made Yu Zimo unhappy.
"Are you...coming to see me too?"
She didn't look at the emperor, but focused all her attention on Yu Zimo and asked in a calm tone.
"Of course, my dear little wine."
Yu Zimo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept over the men following Jiang Jiu. Unexpectedly, he was not angry. Instead, he gently tucked the strands of hair at Jiang Jiu's temples behind his ears. His tone was unpredictable, making it impossible to understand what he was thinking.
"What about them?"
Jiang Jiu glanced at the innocent maids and servants who were trembling and kneeling in the hall, as well as the unfortunate emperor, and his tone was full of inquiry.
"It's just a matter of convenience."
Yu Zimo downplayed the matter, as if human life was something he could take at will.
However, as the King of Ghosts, he can take away life at will.
"I don't like it."
Jiang Jiu frowned slightly. If Yu Zimo wanted to take revenge, she would not stop him, but if he was just impulsive and suddenly wanted to kill someone for no apparent reason, she would not just stand there and watch.
"Um?"
Yu Zimo looked at Jiang Jiu's slightly stubborn expression, raised his eyebrows slightly, hooked Jiang Jiu's chin with one hand, clearly saw the seriousness in her eyes, and then sighed silently.
"Forget it, since Xiaojiu'er doesn't like it, then I won't kill him."
His attitude made Jiang Jiu feel relieved. Fortunately, this guy still listened to her, otherwise it would be a troublesome thing if the palace was inexplicably flooded with blood.
Long Shan Yuzhi got the material much more smoothly than Jiang Jiu had imagined. Now it's time to find the next material. As for Yu Zimo, he's fine with anything as long as he doesn't kill anyone.
Jiang Jiu turned around and prepared to walk down the stairs, but the sky outside suddenly turned dark, and a terrifying pressure instantly swept across the entire palace.
She suddenly turned around and looked outside the hall. In the dim sky, there was actually a pitch-black immortal, who was surrounding the palace inside and out.
An ominous premonition quickly arose in Jiang Jiu's heart, and the fact was just as she expected. The next second, a deafening sound exploded in her ears, piercing her eardrums and causing pain.
"Please ask Fairy Qingyuan to appear. We need you to save the upper realm. I hope you will care about the people and return with us."
As the voice outside fell, the faces of the four men around Jiang Jiu suddenly turned dark. Without even giving Jiang Jiu a chance to speak, they all rushed out.
Jiang Jiu didn't even say a word to stop her, and she was left standing there alone.
No, because there is another person in front of her now, Yun Shuili.
The mermaid with a breathtakingly beautiful appearance had been standing in the center of the hall at some point, looking at her with a smile.
"Junior sister, I'm here to protect you."
Jiang Jiu was stunned. Too many things happened in that moment and she couldn't react for a while. When she saw Yun Shuili's face again, all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end they could only be summarized into one sentence.
"They know, don't they?"
She is not stupid. There is only one reason why the inner demon made such a big fuss and brought heavenly soldiers to find her. When she thinks about what the inner demon said to her, there is only one reason.
And now Yun Shuili said that he was here to protect her, so he must know something. At this moment, pretending to be stupid is no longer of much use.
"Junior sister, you are really smart, but now, I just hope you can be a little dumber."
Yun Shuili's sigh rang out in the hall, mixed with helplessness, as if he was saying to Jiang Jiu, I wish you were a selfish person.
"I will go back with them. I don't need you to protect me."
Jiang Jiu turned his head away, not wanting to look at the emotions in Yun Shuili's eyes, and his tone was terrifyingly calm.
Some things have to be faced sooner or later. Showing resistance now will cause a lot of trouble. Anyway, she has already prepared to die. It's a pity that she didn't wait until Huang Jinsu grew up.
"Reject Junior Sister's proposal. I will protect you to the end, and I believe they will too."
Yun Shuili’s voice has always been so pleasant, so pleasant that it makes one’s ears itch, and a tingling feeling seems to well up from the bottom of one’s heart, and one can’t help but want to listen to what he says.
"Stop it."
Jiang Jiu lowered her eyes and spoke as if she was treating a naughty child. She was completely immune to Yun Shuili's vocal attack. After so long, she had more or less developed some resistance, especially in this situation.
"Junior sister, it's obviously you who's making trouble."
Yun Shuili's tone when calling her junior sister was very affectionate, as if she was nostalgic and ambiguous, and Jiang Jiu couldn't help but blushing when she heard it.
He is well aware of his own charm and will release it at the right time.
The people outside were still in a standoff, and Yu Zimo hadn't made a move yet, but the ghostly energy around him was already stirring.
Xiao Nianzhong's sharp eyes swept across the faces of every immortal in front of him, intending to remember them.
The corners of Fojiang's clothes fluttered in the wind. Even without his cassock, he was still extremely elegant, like a nobleman who was untainted by the dust of the world, or like a ethereal knight.
Long Xuan has transformed into a half-dragon, half-human form, and a dangerous aura is everywhere.
Seeing this, the immortals who came to capture Jiang Jiu did not dare to act rashly. This group of people were just the first to step out. When they learned that the Origin Divine Tree was about to collapse, they came to find Jiang Jiu in a fit of rage.
I never thought about Jiang Jiu's own strength, or I never thought that there would be so many people around Jiang Jiu.
After all, no one would have thought that the top bosses from all walks of life would have nothing to do and all gathered around Jiang Jiu. Now they were dumbfounded when they saw it.
We can't just retreat like this, otherwise where would we put our face?
So we can only confront each other.
Jiang Jiu, who was in the hall, knew that he couldn't communicate with Yun Shuili, so he simply used his spiritual power, sank his energy into his dantian, and spoke loudly to the outside.
"I know that as the Goddess of the Pure Branches, I have the responsibility to save all living things. You don't need to worry that I will shirk my responsibility. With your strength, you can't defeat the people around me. Don't waste your efforts."
"If you don't want to die, just go back. As long as Ji Chen is here, I won't regret it."
Jiang Jiu's words were like a stepping stone. After hearing her voice, a group of immortals who had already regretted their actions found reasons to retreat, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Fairy Dayi, if that's the case, we'll leave first."
The ghost energy wrapped around Yu Zimo's fingertips had already spread to the feet of various immortals, but after these people finished speaking, they slipped away on the spot, without giving him a chance to attack.
In an instant, the ghostly aura around Yu Zimo became even stronger.
Of course, this was out of anger.
